New generation rover with affectionate name "Curiosity» (Curiosity) NASA researchers launched in November 2011 and safely reached the Red Planet Aug. 6, 2012. It separated from migratory module. For the first time the technology has been tested Sky Crane unit descended from a flying platform on the surface of Mars with nylon ropes. Earlier rovers NASA «Spirit» and «Opportunity» delivered to Mars in a protective cocoon of air bags, and Soviet - with engines. August 17, 2012 at the Mars rover NASA «Curiosity» Russian instrument was included Dan and successfully joined.

Thus we have obtained the first scientific information about the composition of matter of Mars - the seventh the size of the solar system, and the radiation background in the landing area rover. As conceived, scientists, «Curiosity» examines samples of Martian soil and air in the region of the crater Gale - one of the largest craters in the world, whose age is more than 3.8 billion years, and the diameter of - 154 km.

One of the scientists of the project «Curiosity» - Tobias Owen - American astronomer, professor at the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu author of many books about Mars told columnist of the magazine "International Affairs" to Elena Studneva about the nuances of the rover's next generation of expectations from his mission - to tell earthlings about possible life in the universe. It is possible that Mars can reveal other worlds.

"Revolution is a theater where people start to play new roles,” so wrote E. Radzinsky in his book "Stalin". I think people who survived the revolution, would never have said that. The word "survivor" I use in a literal and figurative sense – those who historically survived the revolution, went through it yesterday and today as in an ongoing tragedy.

As V. Lenin used to say, "any comparison is lame," but some of them are lame in both legs. Let’s dwell only on one thing, rather as a matter of principle. In answering the question as to why the old Bolsheviks having passed through a difficult phase of life, so quickly broke up during the processes of the 1930s, with their wild, improbable accusations, Edvard Radzinsky in his book " Stalin " makes the following conclusion: "... in two of decades power, honor, money, and women completely transformed yesterday's revolutionary idealists.

No doubt, the developed countries are affected to greater extent. The developing states are still subject to illusion related to neoliberal capitalist models. It’s only the threat that such a supra-state entity as the European Union would break up, something becoming more imminent with each passing month, that makes some individuals think about what has led to such a situation and look for answers outside the exclusively economic models.
